When Aubrey & I did our bag swap in Utah (far from the maddening crowd - sniff, sniff). We made a "mommy playdate" out of it. We got salads at Cafe Rio, went to a cool park in PG, UT, and then up to my mom's house to play on Jason's big blowup slide. The exchange took a couple minutes, but the fun lasted all day. Here's what I made.

This Buttercup bag from Made by Rae was made from repurposed material. The interior was made from a sheet and the exterior from a bag that lived a long flashy life.

I added the bow because I'm not so great on the flower thing yet...

The second bag I made was kind of the reverse. Lime green with black interior.

and the bow. I couldn't decide which one to give her. She loved them both so much so I let her have both. Aubs said she was planning on spreading the SSC love by giving one of the bags to her sis! Yeah.

My Utah trip involved A LOT of sewing. This is a nursing cover I made for my lil' sis Megan. It's the lime green tiger stripe with a brown polka-dot accent.

She requested a baby sling. This was my first time making one of these. I found the tutorials were more confusing then actually helpful. I think I might have to make another one just to create a decent tutorial.

Here is a cell phone/ipod holder I included. It Velcro's on so you can remove it if it is not needed.

And lastly my big fat and sassy Abbey trying it out like she is the Queen of Sheba (and she is)

A Little About Us...

We began with a mutual love of aprons. Having never sewn at all, a couple of us decided to get together and try our hand at sewing an apron. And the Secret Stitch Club was formed (we got our name from Maren's husband who sarcastically asked us one time if we put a secret stitch in our aprons). Almost two years and dozens of aprons later, we still meet weekly to sew, chat, share ideas, eat, and laugh. We share our latest creations and newest inspirations on this blog. Thanks for visiting us!
